I am sure that you have decent arrangements with those who you work with. That doesn't mean that you consider yourself an American, or they consider you to be one either. Or at least some one who is American in the same way that they consider themselves to be.
The issue is that Afro and Indo Guyanese have an opinion of each other as a group. Afro Guyanese see Indians as being "racial" and clannish, and not a group which can be trusted. This doesn't mean that they don't have Indians friends or associates who they trust. Its the Indian who they don't know.
I am willing to bet that Indians have a narrative about Afros indicating levels of distrust.
I can imagine that a white American will claim that he gets on well with the blacks at work. I don't think that any sane and honest person will claim that black and white Americans, as a group, trust each other.
